Promising Textiles For Safety Protection

As the state increases its national defense security And social security input, as well as the importance of labor protection and life safety, prompted the industry to develop rapidly. In 2013, the fiber consumption of the security textile industry increased by 289 thousand tons, an increase of 9.5%. Since 12th Five-Year, nuclear radiation, bullet proof, anti stab, anti bio chemical textiles, flame retardant, anti melting protective fabrics and garments, and a variety of protective functions have been integrated into high-performance protection. textile Become the key development direction of the security industry.

At present, our country promotes the human body. Protective clothing Market growth factors include military construction and human protective clothing under terrorist attacks or natural disasters, but the main growth factor is concerned about life safety, especially in industrial environments.

With the breakthroughs in various new materials and technologies, the varieties and application fields of functional protective textiles and clothing have been expanding. In addition to antistatic, flame retarding, acid and alkali resistance and high temperature resistance, new protective clothing, such as anti-virus, pest control, infrared protection and anti cutting, has been successfully developed.

In the new era, the development trend of textiles for safety protection is more clear and meticulous, including the development of high-performance fiber materials for protective textiles; the combination of ergonomics design to enhance the comfort of protective clothing; the integration of textiles and garments towards multifunctional protection; the extensive application of protective clothing; the perfection of standards and the highly realistic detection of performance; the promotion and improvement of the tag certification and the third party supervision mechanism.

In the face of opportunities for industry development, challenges are also everywhere. First of all, the lack of standards and supervision is not strong enough. There are differences between the existing product standards and objective requirements. The detection methods are mostly focused on fabrics, and the detection of the whole process of clothing is still immature. In addition, the lack of protective clothing selection evaluation guide in the industry, resulting in the actual application of the relevant departments can not play its due regulatory role.

Secondly, downstream cognition and industrial integration are inadequate. Many areas do not attach enough importance to safety protection, and lack of mandatory protection standards. The product development mechanism based on meeting the needs of users has not yet been formed, and the innovation alliance of the whole industry chain is still in its infancy.

Thirdly, special fiber and manufacturing technology are restricted. At present, there is still a gap between China's high performance protective clothing and developed countries. On the one hand, the development of high-end products by fiber enterprises is still in the stage of tackling key problems and promotion. On the other hand, manufacturing equipment technology needs to be improved.

There is also the lack of brand strategy and quality assurance. Most enterprises do not have their own complete product line, lack of clear brand positioning, and lack of training and after-sale services. They have a single protection function, lack of comfort, and are not satisfied with the level of protection and the life of their applications.

Therefore, the technological innovation of textile for safety protection should have goals, such as fitness, duration, comfort, follow-up maintenance, training and economy. In this process, it is the driving force for enterprises to gain competitive advantage, improve operational efficiency, improve the quality of terminal products, and extend the application area of products.

Of course, the development of the safety protection textile industry must explore its own upgrading route. Enterprises should strengthen the research on the protection mechanism and structural design of security products, further optimize the processing technology, further enhance the comprehensive protection capability and comfort of all kinds of functional fabrics, enhance the added value and after-sales service of the terminal products, and promote the high-end product structure, wide application fields and vertical integration of the industrial chain; and promote the traditional industries to turn to the new material industry.
